Hi, Sebastien Yes, it should require libpcap 1.0.0 instead, I just checked the changelog of tcpdump 4.0.0, it "Use newer libpcap API's" which refer to libpcap 1.0.0
But I simply not hit problem upon 0.9.8, (maybe not with fully functional testing on libpcap 0.9.8)... Anyway, I agree with the point to use libpcap 1.0.0 Thanks for point out this issue. - Regards, Robin Guo Sebastien Roy wrote: > On Tue, 2009-03-03 at 01:28 -0800, James Walker wrote: >> tcpdump 4.0.0 will be integrated into the SFW consolidation as part of >> this proposal, and will be installed as SUNWtcpdump. > > Doesn't tcpdump 4.0.0 require libpcap 1.0.0?
